alot of threads on it there. I think someone also did a ls1 gauge swap.

I have a 1996 Formula. I was told that the only gauge cluster that will just magically snap into palce without any modifications is the 1997 digital gauge. I was informed that the LS1 gauges will not work, but Ill be trying it shortly anyways.
Where can I get the new cluster reflashed to reflect my current odometer reading?

the ls1 dash will have different pulse division and the outputs on the pcm will have to be rescaled. constants have to be adjusted. As far as i know tunercat should have them in the 94-95 eeb file. there should be a tach ouput pulse divisor and a speedometer output pulse divisor.

if the Odometer # is kept in the PCM, that would make it extremely easy tp fake the miles on your car. A quick reflash, or a new PCM, and your at zero miles. that doesn't seam like the way it would be. Also, when I was talking to a guy about buying his LT1 sedan, he told me the car had 20k more miles than the OD refected, due to the cluster going out, and him replacing it. It was a digi ODmeter.
